(toplevel): Include process.h. (enum mem_type): Add MEM_TYPE_PROCESS, MEM_TYPE_HASH_TABLE, MEM_TYPE_FRAME, MEM_TYPE_WINDOW enumerators. (allocate_vectorlike): Make it a static function. Add parameter TYPE. (allocate_vector, allocate_hash_table, allocate_window) (allocate_frame, allocate_process, allocate_other_vector): New functions. (Fmake_vector): Call allocate_vector instead of allocate_vectorlike. (mark_maybe_pointer): New function. (mark_memory): Also mark Lisp data to which only pointers remain and not Lisp_Objects. (min_heap_address, max_heap_address): New variables. (mem_find): Return MEM_NIL if START is below min_heap_address or above max_heap_address. (mem_insert): Compute min_heap_address and max_heap_address.

@quotation
  Most of the GNU Emacs text editor is written in the programming
language called Emacs Lisp.  You can write new code in Emacs Lisp and
install it as an extension to the editor.  However, Emacs Lisp is more
than a mere ``extension language''; it is a full computer programming
language in its own right.  You can use it as you would any other
programming language.

  Because Emacs Lisp is designed for use in an editor, it has special
features for scanning and parsing text as well as features for handling
files, buffers, displays, subprocesses, and so on.  Emacs Lisp is
closely integrated with the editing facilities; thus, editing commands
are functions that can also conveniently be called from Lisp programs,
and parameters for customization are ordinary Lisp variables.

  This manual describes Emacs Lisp.  Generally speaking, the earlier
chapters describe features of Emacs Lisp that have counterparts in
many programming languages, and later chapters describe features that
are peculiar to Emacs Lisp or relate specifically to editing.
